Are there any members from around this area?

I currently live in Newbury, Berkshire, but in 2 weeks I am moving to Poole, Dorset with my family. So are there members or clubs, or meetings or anything near by?

There are a fair few of us in the Dorset/Hants area.

Rolling road meet in Portsmouth soon if you fancy it. Also a semi regular meet in the Basingstoke area which might have suited you better before you moved.

Be happy to see any new faces at the RR Day next month

I may even put in an appearance at the RR day next month seeing as it is less than half a mile from me and I am yet to meet any of your people. There are quite a few south coast Skoda's around. I spend a lot of time in Bournemouth myself. Keep an eye out for my Silver 57 Octavia vRS.

Also I saw you the other day Steve (Makefish) approaching the Tempest Avenue Roundabout in Waterlooville. I assume it was you anyway, nobody else would be bold enough to have that black car with Silver Viper Stripes would they???????

Would be good to meet you although I missed spotting you the other day, perhaps you could put some black viper stries on your car so I can easily see you?

It was only a flying pass on the other side of four lanes so I forgive you for missing me!

I flash my lights and hang out of the window next time!

Thinks about viper stripes :confused:

Would it go with my sensible Financial Adviser image:confused::confused:

i seem to spend alot of time in poole with the mrs,as the sales are on,lol.i live near blandford.

Having been and still am around that area there are a good number of us down in Dorset...

A piece of advice for your car is to read the reviews on Westover Skoda in the reviews section on here before you think of going near them.

I just have!

Two dealers in the area - Westover Skoda and Meadens in the New Forest.

I've used Meadens before and are actually nearer to me, but westover have quoted me £130 less for a service and cambelt change on my Fabia! Are they really worth avoiding that much? Don't know what to do now! And there's a lack of independent VAG specialists in the area that I can see!

IMHO speak to meadens or other garages and tell them the price and the fact that you would like to use them but not with that difference. Then I would think they will see how close they can get.

After a Westover warranty `fix` on the ARB on the MK I that required Winchester to do it again as it wasn't done right, I wouldn't go there.

hi i live in soton would like to pop along next year to some meets will keep my eyes peeled

Can someone please give me some information about the next RR day in the area?

Also does anyone know of a Performance exhaust to fit a 08 Octavia vrs tdi?

I can only find exhausts for the petrol version at the mo.

Thanks

It's normally only a one day affair as the coast isn't that long. About 80 miles driving from point to point, taking the most scenic routes possible and stopping anywhere and everywhere for photos.

The JKM meet in 2 weeks time will be the first big gathering for the southern people in 2009. I'm there for sure.

sounds good but,whats the jkm meet?lol.

Look up the thread a few posts

oh yeah,lol,i wish i cud but got my bike theory test that day.

How bout starting a meet at Bakers Arms? Thats pretty central in between Poole/Bournemouth and Weymouth. Then as and when the meets get bigger move on somewhere else then?

I'd be up for any local meets. I'm located in Dorchester.

Nearest VAG specialist is APD near Wareham, just down the road from the Bakers Arms roundabout.

Other than its dealers or JKM in Portsmouth.

I live between Bmth and Poole and be happy to come along to a local meet.
